Yes. I don't think I considered A the right way. It should be ruled out. 
Have to agree that E is best.

I like cheese more than Yvette likes cheese.
I like cheese more than I like Yvette.
The writer's meaning is clear in both of the "right" sentences, so the problem has been corrected.

I would go for B. The tense of B is right and it is the least awkward. The sentence descibes a sequence of events and the earlier action should be in a perfect tense (one formed with have or has).

The question is about the proportion of an individual's income spent on a car and the argument says that now we spend more as a proportion than we did 25 years ago. None of the choices is relevant except the one about more two income homes. Imagine that each wage earner in the house made 30k and the...
